"The Angels were still lurking about. Unappeased by the sissy stuff , they wanted Haul Ass music . Steppenwolf !.John Kay and his skin tight leathers ,an Eagle embossed on his back . He mentioned the words EASY RIDER and the Angels screamed in glory..
Introducing a big Joe Williams cop" Screaming  Night Hog",he bent down towards the bikers up front and said, ‘ hey, here's one with that chopper sound ....He twisted his hand in an imaginary throttle grip. The Angels knew they had their guy"

    Of course , being a real wimp , we stayed away from the near front, as one guy had already been chained in the face for presuming to ask the Angels to stop blocking his view, but Altamont it was not. British Angels were pretty amiable compared to the US version. Whatever, The Wolf were a real dynamite act at the time and gave excellent value , they had huge applause when they finished their set. 

         We have located two tapes of this show, one of which appeared on bootlegs many years ago and the other a different version ,which is of superior qality overall, but which is incomplete, only five tracks in all, these being - Sookie Sookie ,Hoochie Koochie Man , The Pusher ,Born To Be Wild and Magic Carpet Ride .Overall the quality is quite good.This version of the show was recorded on a reel to reel and has superior sound over the other , complete version .The copy of which we have heard has varied sound , with muddy patches and a tape flutter on the final minute or two of Monster and Tighten Up Your Wig, although when cleaned up with a digital sound program, a lot of its flaws have been rectified.

    This is presumably the version of the show which was featured on the original bootleg and the setlist of this was kindly provided by Steppenwolf collector Bill Weeks, who says his copy is a " very average audience tape"

   Listening to this again after all these years, it soon becomes evident just why this band had such a good live reputation, the band kicks ass seriously , with great bluesy guitar work, huge energy and of course ,the stirling vocals of John Kay. Next to Tuna and the Airplane this was probably the best hard rock set of the weekend.
